[Lowfer] Photos of the finished antenna at " XR "

[Andy - KU4XR]

I didn't expect to do any antenna work today, but finished work
early, and had some time to get the antenna almost ready to 
raise into the air. I still have to connect the guy ropes, and
connect the downlead coming into the room. And then the not going
to be so easy job of getting this thing raised into its operating
position. Right now it looks like an " all in the family " job to
get it up. My wife, and stepson, and stepdaughter, as well as
myself. One on each guy rope, and me on the roof pulling it up.
Should be fun....sorry folks; no video of the fiasco, I don't have
a video camera. Todays work was spent winding the elevated loading
coil, and mounting it to the mast, and then, connecting the top
section of mast with the Top Hat, and completing the aluminum
taping of the mast sections together. Here is the link to the 
photos of the work done today:

Hopefully I can get this beast in the air in a couple of days,
then I'll rewind the variometer to be able to match the antenna.

73 all, and have a good weekend.
